For commercial heads I also like Grizzleys or Wensels. I shoot 50#-60# self bows with either cedar or sourwood shoot arrows. I like to make my arrows 500gr to 650gr. I also shoot cane arrows and if they don't have stone or trades I use the Grizzleys or Wensels. They are both 125 gr and I believe you can get a screw in Wensel that are 135gr or so. Pat

Thanks,I can probably get an insert to make them heavier.

You never mentioned the Howard Hill points. I have shot a lot of grizzlies and zwickies but am sure the hills will out penetrate. Kenneth

I know the snuffers and wensels are great broadheads, but I have had a hard time sharpening the three blades. I have switched to a two blade design: Magnus II - 160 gr., and they sharpen very easily.
Of course there is also arrow flight and accuracy to consider...my dad told me when I made the switch to the Magnus that he used to use the big two blade design as well and had what he calls "planing"...there was a lot of surface area on the broadhead to catch the wind, I guess? I haven't had a chance to shoot the Magnus yet, so I cannot confirm if this is a real problem or not. Anybody else experienced this phenomenon?
It is interesting to note though that the most "cutting edge" designs use more than two blades...I wonder if there have been some tests to determine which is a better performer (or which simply sell better).
